2017 MTV Video Music Awards: The Nominees

It’s that time again! MTV today announced the official nominees for the upcoming 2017 Video Music Awards. This year, the music channel has done away with gendered categories and has opted to combine categories such as best male and female video for example.

This year, Kendrick Lamar leads the nominee board with a staggering eight nominations after the incredible success of his massive hit ‘Humble’ while The Weeknd and Katy Perry came in second place with five nominations each. The 2017 MTV VMAs take place on August 27 at the Forum in Inglewood, California.
